Application led September My invention relates to windows, the sash of which is designed to swing inwardly to expose the outer side ot' the pane for clean-V cation for patent No. 115,141, tiled J une 10,V

1926. In the prior application the window was shown with an upper sash which was not slidable vertically but was pivoted to swinginwardly at the upper end. f

lThe present invention has for its object the provision of means for allowing a swinging movement of the upper sash Vand also to allow the sash to slide verticallylrelative to the window casing in the usual manner. It isy also desired to improve the attachments for the sash which allow an easy adjustment of the window into any` desired position, to reverse the sash or t allow its removal from the casing. V

Referring to the drawing'lierewith Fig. 1 is a broken side elevation of the window oas- `ing withthe sash therein, the upper portion of the casing beingl shown in vertical sec# tion.y Fig. 2 is a side elevation ot4 the upper sash and a broken section of the lower sash, the view being-taken approximately on the line 2-2 of Fig. 3.

abroken 'front elevation'. or" the upper sash and its rider. Fig. is atop plan view of a sheet steel embodiment of the upper rider removed. Like numerals of reference are employed to designate like-parts in all the views. Y e

'Y l' The Vpresent invention relatesrparticularly tothe.v mounting for the upper sash ota Y y window vand the deseription will, therefore,4

be confined largely ,to the upper sash forming the subject matter of the invention. The

windowv has the sash therein mounted tol swing upon a rider which slides in channels in the casing as is now old. VIn the draw ing shown in Fig. 1 the casing has the usualV window jamb v1, with a vertical channel 2 therein for the rider 3 upon which the lower sash is mounted. The said rider is preferably made of hollow metal construction, sliding within thechannel 2v and having sash cords 4 connected therewith in the usual manner.V The said lower sash has laterally7 projecting pins 5Y at rthe upper ends, said y pins extending through slots 6 in the rider.

Said pins V5 also serveA as a pivot for the 3 is a transverse., Vsection Von fthe line 3 3 ot Fig. 1. Fig. 411sV 7, 192s; sensi, No. 132,924.'

lower end of the upper sash as will be later described. y Y v The upper sash 7 is mounted upon a rider or stile 8 which initurn isv slidable within the channel 9 in the casing. 'The stile 8 may be formed of a bar vof wood, as shown in Figs. 2, 8 and 4. This strip of wood is,

slightly longer thanvtlie sash and extends.

below the sash fora sho-rt distancevas seen in Fig. 4. A sash cordl 10 is secured to the, rider and a bent plate 11`isl secured on the rider at the upper' end, saidplate being set 5 flush with the face otthe rider and having an inwardly.extendingrtlange 12 adaptedto tit upon the upper'face ot the sash when the sash is mounted thereon.

At the lower end of the rider-8, I have..

providedV a plate 13 secured'to the rider,by

means of screws 14. The plate hasa for-f v75 jecting below the piny 5 on the ,lowery sash.

wardly extending bracket 15 thereon, pro-y Said projection has a curved'recess 164 on the forward end presented toengag'ewith the hinge-plate oiithe upper sash. The sash has a plate 17 at its lower endl and a orwardlyextending a-rnij18 thereon, 1

they end ot'wliich is curved on the; arc ofy a circle toy twithin the recess l'of the brack-y et, ,andthe-upper side. is formed .with fa ref* by folding tliepmetal, as shown by 21.- lThis construction may beemployed it desired'.

In operating the uppersash with my invention employed thereon, lit will be notedy that Ythe sash and rider be lowered relaf tive tothe casingrwithout difficulty as theV pin 5 on the lowersash is allowed to move.` vupwardly out of the slot 19 in the arm on the upper sash. When it is desir'edto swing the upper end Vofthe vsash inwardly the sash willV be rai-sed to its.` upper .position with the arm18 engaging the pin l5 ot' the lower sash so as to -ii'orin a pivot therefor. The upper end of the sash may then be swung inwardly free of the rider about the pin 5 as a pivot'-` In this movement thev lower side of the arm 18 willmove within the recess y16 so as to prevent v.the movement of the sash away` from th-epin V5. This'prevents any longitw dinal play ot thesash while it` is beingfV swung inwardly. lVhen the sash has been moved into position with its upper end projecting downwardly, the hook formed at the forward endof the arm 18 may be released kfrom the pin by movingV the sash and the arm 18 upwardly. The sash may then be removed from the casing.

The advantages of this construction over that shown in my prior application for patent reside inthe provision upon the sash of a movable rider Vor stile which allows the vertical sliding of the sash in the casing and yet 4permits the swinging and removal of the sash as in the previous embodiment. it will be possible with this construction to 'provide means to limit the swinging of the sash if desired, but as this provision is old in the art it is not here illustrated. rlhe further advantage of this construction will be apparent. Y

l/Vhat by Letters Patent is:

l. Ina window, a casing, an upper sash thereon, a rider at each side of said sash, a plate at the 'lower end of said rider, a bracket projecting forwardly from said plate having an arcuate recess therein, a hinge plate on said sash, an arm on said hinge plate hav# ing. means engaging said recess to pivot therein, and means on said rider engaging the upper face of said sash in the manner described. Y

2. In a window, a casing, an upper sash thereon, a rider at each side of said .sash slidabl-e in said casing, a lower sash having' laterally projecting pins thereon, a plate at the lower end of said rider a bracket oro- I l 7 a Y jecting forwardly from said plate having an arcuate recess therein, a hinge plate` on said sash, an arm on said hinge plate havingr l claim as new and desire to protect means enga-ging said recess and said pins to pivot therein, and means on said rider engaging the upper'face of said sash in the manner described.

3. In a window, a casing, upper and lower sash, said upper sash having riders slidable in said casing, aV supporting plate at the lower end of each rider, a cooperating plate on said sash, said upper sash being adapted tok swing relative to said supporting plate, and means on said rider to engage the upper end of the sash.

si. ln a window, a casing, upper and lower sash, riders on said sash slidable in said cas# ing, means on said upper sash cooperating with means on said lower sash to allow.v

the upper cud of said upper sash to swing inwardly, and means on the rider of said upper sash to support said sash in its swing-` ing movement.

5. ln a window, a casing, upper and lower sash, riders on said sash slidable in said casing, lateral pins on said lower sash, brackets on said upper sash engaging said pinsto pivot thereon, and means on the riders of said upper sash engaging to support said brackets and sash.

5. ln a window, a casing, upper and lower sash, riders on said sash slidable in said casing, a supporting bracket at the lower end of the rider of said upper sash, a bracket on the sash engaging said supporting bracket to allow swinging movement of said upper sash, and a plate at th-e upper end of said rider engaging above the lsaid sash to resist movement thereof.

in testimony whereof l hereunto affix my signature this 30 day of August, fr. D. 1926.
